UH Hilo's Kuleana and Community Talk Story with Julie Mitchell, the Executive Director of Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center, a non-profit whose mission is to empower people to come together — to talk and to listen, to explore options, and to find their own best solutions. To achieve this mission, Ku‘ikahi offers mediation, facilitation, and training that can strengthen the ability of diverse individuals and groups to resolve interpersonal conflicts and community issues. In this talk-story, we explore why conflict usually feels so “icky” and how we can engage more constructively when we have disagreements with others.
